Great location!

Beautiful, well kept property steps away from the beach! Well suited for a family vacation without the hassle of linens, bath towels and misc home items. This house is well stocked. Check in and check out was a breeze without the hassle of returning keys. The company was clear on how to leave the house, which I appreciated.

Gorgeous beach view

This property was perfect for our family of four to have a relaxing beach vacation. The house is beautifully decorated, had all of the things we needed, and is just steps away from the beach. Everything was exceptionally clean. We enjoyed our stay and hope to come back!

Great time with a great view

This is our second time staying here, overall the house is very nice and in decent condition. However, we did notice some unclean dishes and some animal spots on the rugs and floor mats. We will definitely stay here again for the easy beach access and pet friendliness.

Wonderful stay!

This house is exactly as pictured. Absolutely gorgeous and comfortable to stay in for our family of 7. The location was great and low key. We enjoyed being right on the beach. Communication with the property owner was excellent. I would highly recommend staying here and look forward to booking another trip soon!
